T2084194551Kings Of Convenience make live appearances almost as sparingly as they make records. The Norwegian duo of Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambæk Bøe specialise in nuanced lyrics and delicate acoustic arrangements; their debut album Quiet Is The New Loud (2001) not only attracted a dedicated audience, it was almost a manifesto for a new era of finely-crafted, emotionally subtle songwriting. Since then, though, they have made only one subsequent record (Riot On An Empty Street in 2004). Autumn 2009, though, sees a welcome burst of activity - as well as releasing a new album - as yet untitled - Kings Of Convenience will play just 2 UK gigs, one here and one at the Barbican. It’s a rare chance to see two of the most distinctive singer-songwriters of their generation.Performer Erik Glambeck Boe. Performer Eriend Oye. | |
